[Verse 1]
Forever had an end
You had yourself a ten
Thought you were the one
But you were good for nothin'
I'm throwin' back some drinks
Packin' all my things
Then right on time
I hear the goddamn phone ring
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, let me guess
It's you and your bullshit
I'm a sucker, I admit
But you know I'm not an idiot
[Chorus]
When I'm lonely
When I hear your name
When I'm out and tryna drink the pain away
Yeah, every little thing you do
Makes me go ‘round again
You know it isn't workin' but you pull me in
The very second that I think I'm over it
Yeah, every little thing you do
Makes me go ‘round and 'round again
[Verse 2]
Will we ever learn?
Reached the point of no return
If it's ride or die
I wanna crash and burn
I've got only one regret
It's the day that we first met (Oh)
Midnight strikes and I get the same ol' text
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, let me guess
It's you and your bullshit
I'm a sucker, I admit
But you know I'm not an idiot
[Chorus]
When I'm lonely
When I hear your name
When I'm out and tryna drink the pain away
Yeah, every little thing you do
Makes me go ‘round again
You know it isn't workin' but you pull me in
The very second that I think I'm over it
Yeah, every little thing you do
Makes me go ‘round and 'round again
[Bridge]
'Round again (Oh, oh)
'Round again (Oh)
'Round again (Oh, oh)
(Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck this mess
Fuck you and your bullshit
I'm a sucker, I admit
But you know I'm not an idiot
[Chorus]
When I'm lonely
When I hear your name
When I'm out and tryna drink the pain away
Yeah, every little thing you do
Makes me go ‘round again
You know it isn't workin' but you pull me in
The very second that I think I'm over it
Yeah, every little thing you do
Makes me go ‘round and 'round again
[Outro]
'Round again (Oh, oh)
'Round again (Oh)
'Round again (Oh, oh)
(Oh)

An April 2020 Rolling Stone article quotes Puru saying:
‘Idiot’ is about being powerless in your attachment to someone, indulging compulsive and destructive habits, feeling frustrated. It’s about being in love even when you don’t want to be.
